Games Based Learning
Special Thanks to Jen Deyenberg Click HERE

Games are a way for students to think critically, develop collaborative skills, learn about people, learn about themselves and engage in higher level thinking skills. This is a collection of a wide variety e of games based learning resources that you can use in your learning environments. I have linked each resource, as well as at least one example of how to integrate the resource into [[#|education]]. Please go through the resources and then add other examples on the Games Based Learning Resources Sheet. Click HERE.
